IDC European CIO Xchange 2024 | International Data Corporation (IDC) | 5 October 2024 | The Oitavos, R. de Oitavos, 2750-374 Cascais, Portugal

Technology and technology leadership will be at the center of this journey, much as we have seen since the beginning of digital transformation. Based on a recent EMEA CIO Quick Poll, two-thirds of CIOs in EMEA are expecting budgets to increase and close to 40% are seeing increases of more than 10%. The focus: AI and data as well as security, trust and compliance. C-Suite leaders are enthusiastic, too, with almost two-thirds seeing it as a key investment priority (IDC C-Suite Survey).

Coordinating tech and AI investments to drive return as part of a Responsible AI strategy will decide many fates in the Digital Business era. From connecting the C-Suite to driving the overarching strategy and business use cases to deciding which workloads work best on-prem/public cloud/hybrid and managing a potential AI sprawl, there will be an avalanche of decision points. Thus, mastering technology leadership is critical in this next phase as AI becomes pervasive in the organization.
